German Armor vs. French Armor 5/40 issue

[chuckfourth]

Hello Adrian
The French lost because their staff calculated (im working from memory here) 2 weeks for the germans to get sufficient strength through the Ardenne to pose a serious threat and deployed accordingly. The Germans managed to navigate the forest in less than half the time, arrived in numbers, broke through the front and the rest was history, ie the French tanks wernt where they needed to be.
Best Chuck.
